DataGrid does not render on an inactive tab

[Sanjay Madhavan]

using dojo 1.3.2, FF 3.5

I was having a lot of trouble getting DataGrid? to display within a content pane.

I have a html page with a tabbed interface with multiple tabs and each tab containing a BorderContainer? with design="headline".

My first tab had non grid content and that worked fine.

My second tab had a DataGrid? and if i put the DataGrid? as the only widget on the tab it worked.

If I put the DataGrid? inside a ContentPane? it refused to display.

I had already explicitly set the width and height of all parents of the DataGrid?. In addition the body has a style of width and height 100%.

Finally I saw a post with a workaround of displaying the grid outside the contentpane and then moving it into the contentpane after the grid was built.

That sort of worked for me when I noticed yet another issue that if the grid was built on an inactive tab it will not display!.

I am attaching a sample of the problem. There are two files one that works and one that doesnt.

The sample is a modified version of a working DataGrid? that I would in another ticket.

I would really appreciate if someone could give me a workaround for the grid within the ContentPane? issue and the issue of building a grid on an inactive tab.

Regards

Sanjay
